Engine.
4. Select one of the following settings for Allow duplicated media files” option:
- No — When you archive an Avid asset the first time, the Archive Provider archives all
associated media. If you archive other assets that reference the same media, the Archive
Provider archives the metadata but does not archive duplicate versions of the associated
media (default setting).
- Yes — The Archive Provider archives the associated media each time you archive an
asset. If you delete an asset that references the duplicated media, the system asks if you
want to delete the associated media files. If you choose the delete the media, the system
deletes all copies of the media.
